LOL, we have a Pavlov dog too. He's recovering from IBD and still getting digestive enzymes in his food, which have to sit for 15 minutes after mixing in. When the beeper goes he doesn't come running, heck no, he hasn't budged since we mixed the food. He's lying right beside that part of kitchen counter.

At dinner time the Malamutes run to opposite corners of the yard for the bowl when they hear the kitchen door open. Lupa goes into her kennel and Nikki goes to the far corner. If Nikki heads to the kennel instead Lupa gives him heck. Her spot. They certainly all have their cues. Gotta love our pups.
